JIHLAVA
Province: Vysočina Kraj
District (Okres) : Jihlava
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms are a combination of the lion of Bohemia and a canting hedgehog; the old German name for the town is Iglau (Igel=hedgehog).
In the beginning of the 13th century Jihlava was promoted to the status of a mining town (by King Wenceslas II) and since 1249 it had been enjoying special town and mining rights. Most probably it it was at that time that the arms were designed. But the arms are only known as such since the 16th century.
